Bashing is only bad because we have things called "guard stacks" - 30 to 40 mobs in the same room so influencing can be done with a single alias. Frankly speaking, ikons only really even the field against crits - bashing would be more or less equal …
Paranoia was actually surprisingly prevalent in this fight (see the angelic choir hitting allies, and Sidd's song backfiring because Raeri captivating the halli team). Was it a passive from one of your stones that got stuck on everyone because of la…
I don't think that's how the relationships between the forest and the Maeve actually work - but we'll need an admin to step in to confirm it - what this thread is about, basically.
Generally, I don't think the distinction is really that big a deal. It's semantically important, and in some cases, technically as well, but in effect, there aren't really that many cases where Serenwilde or its outsiders care much that forests/Maev…
I think, lore-wise, the dependency is the other way around. Rather than the Maeve being dependant on the forests to survive, it is the forests that depend on the Maeve to survive. The Maeve, at least, was explicitly stated to have been created to sa…
Vaguely (and probably slightly inaccurately) speaking, Maeve = fae. The idea is that all the fae were used to create her, or that she is the manifestation of all the fae or something along those lines. Can't remember exactly, but she was created to …

It'll save secondary targets, but secondary targets are... secondary. It'll never save primary targets if the staticfield user puts in 8 lines of extra code in his targeting alias. You certainly don't need to be "scripted to the…
Also, wait. I just had an eureka moment (I was confused at why we were talking about treehug) - is Enyalida arguing that if treehug is used when the target has less current health than the damage treehug deals, it is an "instakill"..?
Well, I was speaking in the past tense. Preserve is definitely viable nowadays, as anyone who fights against or with Celest can attest to, firsthand. But it did take a couple of envoy reports to prod it up a little.
Most abilities are assesed on balance based on their own guild kits and in the period of time when they are being brought up for discussion. I actually don't find too much weight in taking every single instakill in the game and comparing them side b…
So I was rummaging in my collection for something fun and old, and I came across this old gem. Ahh, great show. Best kiss scene in all the shows I've ever watched. Pretty good OST too:
There are rare cases where you can use a balance ability while off eq, or an eq ability while off balance. Depending on the ability and its specifics, it can be used as a point of balance, to introduce strategical or tactical elements of choice and …
Eh, on the topic of position swapping, the SDs have been known to do that in an organised way, but it's a practice that's been around everywhere for a while now. When a position swap takes place, most of the time, the leadership isn't looking to sha…
Aeon is super useful, really no reason not to use it. MindClock is basically TrueTime - helpful, but it won't make you immune. Especially in the current meta, if you can put on asthma on the target, you probably should go for it.
I believe it's half coded. Maybe added in by Vadi at some point intending to complete it, but never getting the chance. I personally just find and disable the influencer whenever I update. I use my own set of triggers, anyway.
Since I've been quoted, the basis of Night, or Choke, or Bonds, or Brume, is NOT to be a double-edged sword. They were not made with the designer saying, "Let's make this a skillset that bites them in the ass as the entire start point!" Or at least,…
